Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your Telstra Colombo in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your Telstra Colombo base
within 2 metres of the mains power socket
and telephone socket so that the cables will
reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away
from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. Your Telstra Colombo works by
sending radio signals between the handset
and base. The strength of the signal depends
on where you locate the base. Putting it as
high as possible ensures the best signal.
Handset range
The Telstra Colombo has a range of up to 300
metres outdoors when there is a clear line
of sight between the base and handset. Any
obstruction between the base and handset
will reduce the range significantly. With the
base indoors and handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50
metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect
the range.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates when
you are in range. When out of range of the
base, the screen shows SEARCHING , the
icon flashes and the handset gives an out-of-
range warning tone every minute. This tone
is repeated until you move back into range.
The handset will automatically reconnect - to
the base when you move back in range. If you
move out of range during a call, the call will
be terminated.
IMPORTANT
The base must be plugged into the mains
power at all times. Do not connect the
telephone line cord into the wall socket until
the handset is fully charged. Only use the
power and telephone cables supplied with
the product.
Which power adaptor?
The power adaptor with a clear connector is
for the base unit and the power adaptor with
a red colour connector is for the charger unit
(multi-packs only).
Connecting up the base
Plug the mains power cable with clear
connector into the socket marked on the
underside of the base, plug the other end into
the mains power wall socket and switch the
power on.
